IMC Beam Centering Measurements

Today I estimated the position of the beam spot on the input mode cleaner mirrors, following the procedure used in LLO alog 5010. The results:

 

 

Coil drive

unbalance

(%)

Position

Shift of

Node (mm)

MC1P -4.0 -1.5
MC1Y 1.7 0.6
MC2P -5.9 -2.2
MC2Y -4.3 1.6
MC3P -4.1 1.5
MC3Y -7.9 3.0

I couldn't find documentation on how to get to coil drive imbalance from P2L/Y2L gain, so I wrote up a short document in TeX describing the method to make reproducing these results relatively straightforward.
